T-Mobile Simple Choice customers traveling to Europe this summer are in for quite a treat, as the Un-carrier is offering free, "unlimited speed" mobile data with Summer Unleashed.
Traveling abroad is always exciting, but one big drawback is that roaming is expensive and disappointing, requiring you to shell out a small fortune for slow data speeds. T-Mobile wants to change all that with attractive plans for travelers this summer.
Earlier this month, T-Mobile announced a $30 tourist plan for travelers visiting the United States, and now it has a new deal in place for travelers visiting Europe. With its latest offer, T-Mobile wants to boost the summer fun with free high-speed internet for free across Europe.
Between July 1 and Aug. 31, T-Mobile will boost the speed of roaming data for Simple Choice customers to offer unlimited speed data, with no additional expenses involved.
While transfers on foreign networks are usually capped at a meager 128Kbps, T-Mobile is boosting the speed up to "4G LTE speeds" in select regions across Europe. Moreover, customers will also be able to enjoy unlimited text messaging and a discounted rate on international voice calling at 20 cents per minute.
In typical fashion, T-Mobile CEO John Legere highlights the great benefits the Un-carrier is offering as opposed to the greedy practices of rival carriers.
"The carriers see your summer trip as the perfect occasion to slam you with insane international roaming charges. When you travel with the Un-carrier, you'll never come home to surprise overages or crazy fees," says Legere.
With this new offer in place, Simple Choice customers will be able to share every special moment during their vacation abroad using their mobile phones the way they want to, the CEO further touts.
"Share every fantastic moment and don't pay a penny more for your data!"
The offer is available on nearly all of T-Mobile's roaming partners in Europe, with Andorra left out of the mix. In addition to the deal in Europe, T-Mobile also added Belize to the list of destinations where Simple Choice customers can roam freely and enjoy unlimited data and texting, as well as low, flat-calling rates.
Lastly, T-Mobile also has a sweet treat for those traveling this weekend: one hour of free in-flight Wi-Fi on all Gogo-equipped domestic flights from June 24 through June 26. This offer even applies to AT&T and Verizon customers "who never get thanked by their carrier," the press release points out.
